A Civil
Society Assessment in 15 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America
Executive
Summary
Sustainability
Watch is a network of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Africa,
Asia and Latin America, working to promote governmental accountability
for sustainable development, through ongoing qualitative monitoring
and constructive dialogue at the national and international levels.
Sustainability
Watch focuses on the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) in the context of monitoring the implementation of the Johannesburg
Plan of Implementation. By doing so, Sustainability Watch seeks
to increase Southern civil-society networks' ability to engage
more efficiently in advocacy for pro-poor sustainable development.
This first international
Sustainability Watch Report 2006 presents the assessments made by
national CSO networks of the existing implementation barriers hindering
the effective realisation of sustainable development goals. The
report summarizes the findings of national Sustainability Watch
reports developed in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America
(see Annex 1: Summary of the National Sustainability Watch Reports).
The purpose
of this cumulative report is, first and foremost, to provide insights
useful to promoting and enhancing a continuing dialogue at the national
level between civil society organizations and governments on how
to work together toward sustainable development goals. Specifically,
this report intends to provide Southern governments, civil society
and donors with a useful perspective on how to improve the capacities
to overcome the current implementation crisis regarding MDG 1 and
7 in pursuit of poverty reduction and environmental sustainability.
This report will also serve to substantiate the work of the United
Nations and other international organizations interested in the
realization of the MDGs, and in improving policies and mechanisms
to support governments in complying with their MDG commitments.
